best setting for slow computer

If you choose low settings with the "master" slider you are on the safe side almost. Bandwidth depends on your DSL speed and shouldn't be more than 1500 kbps. Since most stuff is transfered via HTTP and not UDP (the network speed slider affects only UDP) it doesn't matter much anymore. Only if you turn of HTTP Get Texture. Goal should be to have packet loss close to 0%. You can see the packet loss for UDP if you hit ctrl + shift + 1. Lowering the number of of actually drawn avatars can be a help too, look for Avatar Imposters, the lower the number the less lag. Also there is usualy a check box, it should be ticked. Draw distance is also FPS eating:)

To compare different viewers, you need the same settings (or as close as possible) and look at the FPS in the statistics bar, the higher the value, the better, the smoother will be the experience. Same window as for the packet loss.

Trying different viewers that suits you and your PC the most, not always is the most recommend viewer the best:)

Heres a list of viewers you can try: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Third_Party_Viewer_Directory
